fashionable signals of officially approved pseudo-nonconformity

things that really matter

Examples of these categories would be helpful. (In general, I find your comments interesting and your perspective important, but have a hard time understanding you due to frequent oblique allusions like these. I know that some of the time you're trying not to step on landmines, which seems like a good idea, but this doesn't seem like one of those cases.)

(On-topic, I agree with Mycroft65536.)

For a complete list of examples of officially approved pseudo non conformity, see "Stuff White People Like"

Vegetarianism, or the pious pretense of vegetarianism, is pretty high on the list.

Deep fry pork belly in smoking hot pig fat till light brown, then gently simmer on a slow heat. It will cure most people's foodie affectations. The slow simmer will produce some nice meat juices, which you should add to the roast potatoes.
